"Hehe, Xiaokun and Huanzhang are two generals. We are all our own people, so why should our own people be separated from each other?" Lu Yongxiang, the official Shandong warlord at the moment, laughed dryly and hurried out to smooth things over.

Duan Qirui also took a deep breath, his face was also livid and black.Where did people like Feng Yuxiang and Zhang Zongchang come to help him "defend Shandong"?Obviously they are also here to grab the territory... I don't know how it is different from the KMT?It's really a wolf in the front door and a tiger in the back door. It seems that the Anhui Department's flesh and blood is about to end!

"Brother Xiaokun, the national crisis is at stake right now, so we shouldn't hurt our peace and let outsiders laugh at us, shall we?" Feng Yuxiang smiled sullenly again: "Why don't we do this, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Anti-Japanese Allied Army asks Brother Xiaokun to resign himself to it?" Take up the post for a while. After defeating the Japanese aggressors...the governor of Shandong will invite Brother Xiaokun to take over the post, and we brothers will govern Lu together, how about it?"

Zhang Zongchang smiled: "That's about the same. I'm from Shandong, so being the governor of Shandong is more than enough! Well, that's it. After we finish fighting the Japanese devils, Shandong will belong to our brothers!"

I heard that the two "big saviors" divided up the territory of Shandong Province in front of so many people!All the generals of the Anhui faction present here were all pale and gloomy. If Duan Qirui and Lu Yongxiang hadn't kept giving them winks, there would probably be a fight at the banquet!

"Report, Xuzhou has sent another urgent military message." At this time, a staff officer of the Anti-Japanese Allied Army hurried in, holding a telegram in his hand.

"Read." Feng Yuxiang said calmly.

"Commander-in-Chief Feng Junjian: According to reliable information, the second, fifth, and sixth divisions of the Japanese army have recently completed mobilization and replenishment. Starting today, they will start boarding and departing one after another. They are expected to arrive in Qingdao in two days. Make full preparations. Deng Yanda, Deputy Chief of Staff of the General Command of the Shandong Front Army of the National Revolutionary Army." After reading the telegram aloud, the staff stood in silence waiting for Feng Yuxiang's instructions.

Feng Yuxiang laughed, and looked at Zhang Zongchang in front of him: "The Japanese are about to come to your door. I wonder if Brother Xiaokun has any tricks up his sleeve?"

Chapter 0414 Bait ([-])

Zhang Zongchang slammed the table and shouted: "Grandma, I don't believe that these little noses have superhuman powers. Brother Huanzhang, Mr. Zhi, I will lead the troops out of the city to deploy defenses in Wei County. It's just the weapons, ammunition and soldiers' pay." ..."

This dog-meat general Zhang Zongchang was willing to lead troops to Weixian County, an important point on the Jiaoji Railway, to intercept the Japanese army!Hearing the news, everyone in the room cast admiring and puzzled gazes.Could this master be drunk and talking nonsense?

Feng Yuxiang heaved a sigh of relief, a trace of surprise flashed across his face, he provoked Thumbs up, and praised: "Okay! Brother Xiaokun is indeed a hero! Brother Xiaokun, let me give Brother Xiaokun a cup first, and wish Brother Xiaokun a successful start and success."

Duan Qirui also smiled: "Yes, Zhang Xiaokun is indeed the pillar of the country, the pillar of Shandong! The weapons, ammunition and military pay... Our Shandong Warlord's Office has fully borne it. Go to the battlefield empty-handed!"

"Then I will thank Mr. Duan Zhi on behalf of the [-] tigers of the Zhi-Shandong Allied Army!" Zhang Zongchang laughed, with a simple and honest face, and clasped his hands at the Anhui generals present: "My old Zhang just now Offended, I hope you don't blame me, this time... If I return the corpse of that horse, brothers, don't forget to burn some paper money for Lao Zhang during the Ching Ming Festival, so that I and the king of Hades can spend more money. Play a few sets of mahjong."

……

Xuzhou Camel Mountain Airport.A 31-seat Junkers J[-] airliner is slowly taxiing on the runway.The logo on the wings and fuselage of this aircraft is actually a bright red five-pointed star. This is an aircraft belonging to the Air Force of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army!

The history of this time and space is really messed up.The Red Army, which was supposed to "occupy the mountain as king" in Jinggangshan, now has an air force!Although there is only one plane.It is the Junkers J31 passenger plane assembled by Sino-German Aircraft Company.This luxurious and exquisite interior, with European-style luxury everywhere, was a gift from the Nationalist Government to the CCP not long ago.The plane was piloted by Feng Dafei, who had just completed flight training at the Moscow Advanced Aviation Academy in the Soviet Union. He is currently the commander and political commissar of the Air Force of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army.

Zhou Enlai, General Political Commissar of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, was on this plane, and Xuan Xiafu was sitting next to him.The two of them came to Xuzhou to meet with Luo Yaoguo to discuss how to avoid misunderstandings in the "Cooperative Anti-Japanese War".

"General Political Commissar, look there." Xuan Xiafu's slightly surprised voice suddenly rang in Zhou Enlai's ear.

Following the direction pointed by Xuan Xiafu, Zhou Enlai saw dozens of small biplanes neatly arranged through the glass window of the cabin.This should belong to the Army Aviation of the National Revolutionary Army. It seems that the Kuomintang is bound to win Shandong this time!Thinking of this, Zhou Enlai's face became a little dignified.

Xuan Xiafu sighed lightly: "General Political Commissar, I heard CMA CGM say that their biplane is quite good, using German craftsmanship and technology, even the Soviet Air Force bought [-] of them! It's just not Do you know how many they have?"

Zhou Enlai smiled lightly: "The monthly output of the Sino-German Aircraft Factory is [-], and the annual output is [-]! The labor union of the aircraft factory includes our comrades."

"Twenty-four hundred!" Xuan Xiafu exclaimed, with an expression of disbelief in his eyes: "If they use these planes to attack the Soviet area... what will they do!"

Zhou Enlai sneered twice: "They just started a few years earlier than us! Haven't we started to build heavy industry now? The construction contract of Baotou's iron and steel military-industrial complex has basically been finalized with several large companies in the south. In addition ...We also plan to jointly establish aircraft manufacturing plants and tank manufacturing plants with Fengjun, and they plan to import technology from Italy. Italy is one of the five largest military powers in the world, and their technology is no worse than that of the Germans."

Surprise flashed across Xuan Xiafu's face. He had already heard about Baotou's plan to build a steel and military factory, but this was the first time he had heard of a tank and aircraft factory.It seems that the Party Central Committee also has an overall layout in terms of military industry and heavy industry.

"General Political Commissar, so in a few years, our strength will be able to catch up with them?"

Zhou Enlai nodded noncommittally, but never took his eyes off the dozens of small biplanes: "Soul of Sword, what we lack now is time! Our system always has advantages, and our party also has strong combat effectiveness and cohesion. Everything is not comparable to the Kuomintang and the capitalist system. It's just that...we started a few years late and let them take the lead."

"Can you catch up?" Xuan Xiafu asked heavily.

"Yes!" Zhou Enlai replied with certainty: "Although the Kuomintang started first, they have many internal contradictions and their economy is too dependent on imperialism. Moreover...they have turned their energy and financial resources to the navy in the past two years, and they want to fight with Japan. Come to fight for hegemony. And now we don’t need to develop the navy, we only need to devote our energy to the key projects of steel, military industry, and aircraft! Concentrating our forces to do big things is the advantage of our communist system!”

Xuan Xiafu frowned tightly, with a gloomy expression on his face: "But...if we fight them this time, do we still have a chance?"

Zhou Enlai shook his head slowly. This issue was debated all afternoon at the enlarged meeting of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee yesterday.Mao Zedong's opinion is not to be afraid of conflicts with the Kuomintang. At present, the Anti-Japanese Allied Army led by the CCP has obtained the leadership of the national anti-Japanese war!And it will soon gain the unanimous support of the people of the whole country. Under such circumstances, if there is a small conflict with the Kuomintang, the other party will not dare to make things big!Only this time Mao Zedong's opinion was opposed by almost all members of the Politburo, including Zhou Enlai.

At present, the construction of the Soviet area has just started, and a relatively stable external environment is urgently needed.Moreover, base areas such as northern Shaanxi and Suiyuan are experiencing severe drought, and I am afraid that they will still need assistance from the Kuomintang-ruled areas.It seems very unwise to go to war with the Kuomintang under such circumstances.However, it seems unreasonable not to share such a large piece of fat in Shandong Province... This is why Zhou Enlai personally flew to Xuzhou to negotiate with Luo Yaoguo. If you can't get something on the battlefield, try to get it on the negotiating table Get it.

……

The large dining room of Xuzhou Garden Hotel is already full of people, and the seats are divided into tables.Officers wearing the uniforms of the National Revolutionary Army generals and German military advisers are scattered among them.The table was full of fine dishes, but in front of the German were knives and forks.The waiters in the restaurant shuttled back and forth, and some of them carefully carried all kinds of foreign wine in ice buckets, and when they saw someone's glass was empty, they went over to fill it up.

At the main table in the center of the big dining room, Luo Yaoguo was smiling and talking in a low voice with Zhou Enlai beside him, while Deng Yanda was sitting on the other side of Zhou Enlai, also smiling all over his face, maybe adding a few words.The topic of discussion was actually to carve up Shandong's territory...

"Brother Enlai, why do you Chinese Communists keep staring at the mountains?" Luo Yaoguo took a sip of his wine, shook his head, and said with a smile, "Could it be that you want to establish a Soviet area in Yimeng Mountain, and then come to fight guerrillas with us?"

The expression on Zhou Enlai's face changed slightly, but then he calmed down again, and he laughed: "Brother Fuwen is really good at joking! Right now is the climax of the entire nation's war of resistance, and our party is all the more dedicated to resisting Japan. How could it conflict with your party?" ? Unless some reactionary forces, who disregard the interests of the nation, insist on instigating a civil war, then we will have to defend ourselves!"

"Yes, what brother Enlai said is very true." Seeing the awkward atmosphere at the banquet, Deng Yanda hurried out to smooth things over: "Our party's army will never fire the first shot, brother Fuwen, don't you think so? "

Luo Yaoguo glanced at him and sneered twice: "Brother Zesheng is also a general of our National Revolutionary Army, why doesn't he know our army's combat regulations? We must fire the first shot! Otherwise, I'm afraid we won't have the chance to shoot Yes! Brother Enlai, what do you think?"

These words are simply a naked provocation!Zhou Enlai's face suddenly darkened.A pair of sharp eyes stared at Luo Yaoguo: "Commander Luo, what do you mean! Don't you think we communists can be intimidated by intimidation!"

Luo Yaoguo said indifferently: "I have good intentions, but I am just sending a very clear message to your party. The entire territory south of the Yellow River in Shandong Province belongs to us, and you are not allowed to get involved! However, the 34 counties north of the Yellow River can belong to you. There are comparable Yimeng Mountain is much fatter!"

34 counties north of the Yellow River!It is almost one-third of Shandong Province.Moreover, it is an alluvial plain as flat as a table, with fertile land and dense population, it is indeed a good place.It's just... there is absolutely no danger to defend!

Zhou Enlai's face was serious, his thick eyebrows were furrowed, obviously he was calculating gains and losses.Luo Yaoguo didn't wait for his answer, and continued talking eloquently: "What is the basis of mountain guerrilla warfare? Isn't it the support of the people? Why should the people support you? Isn't it for real benefits? We are exempting you this time." Three-year land tax in Shandong, free education, and [-] million yuan to carry out land reform, to realize the land to the tiller! I don’t believe that your Communist Party can give more benefits? When the time comes, people will be on our side, and we will have more troops. Weapons and equipment are even more superior to us, so why do you fight us? Is it a good thing for me not to let you come to the south of the Yellow River? I think Brother Enlai can tell the difference, right?"

"Hmph, Luo Fuwen! Aren't you afraid of the condemnation of the national public opinion and democrats?" Deng Yanda slammed the table and shouted loudly.

Luo Yaoguo sneered, and lightly turned the wine glass in his hand: "Our Kuomintang is afraid of public opinion and those democratic gentlemen, but do you know who these democratic gentlemen are afraid of? When the time comes, send them to Mongolia and Xinjiang to stay for a few days... just The truth has been revealed! That’s why I’m really anxious, I’m not afraid of public opinion or anything like that!”

"You!" Deng Yanda was just about to refute, when he saw Luo Yaoguo's gloomy and somewhat terrifying face, and then thought of those terrifying and somewhat outrageous "rumors" from Xinjiang and Mongolia.For a moment, there was a chilling feeling!This is really a bit absurd. Those hard-boiled democrats and leftists of the Kuomintang, especially myself who are not afraid of death, are actually afraid of Wang Zixing, a lunatic, and Wang Zhongyi, a semi-literate person?

All the audience fell silent, Zhou Enlai and Xuan Xiafu's expressions became gloomy.

I don't know how long it took before I heard a sweet and greasy voice sigh: "Mr. Zhou, Mr. Xuan, some things are unimaginable to outsiders, but we insiders don't have to pretend that we don't know anything. So please don’t mention this matter again, so as not to spoil your appetite.”

The one who spoke was Natalie, Luo Yaoguo's secretary and little wife. She was also sitting at the main table at the moment, her brows were slightly frowned, as if she had thought of something unpleasant.

Zhou Enlai raised his eyebrows and nodded: "Our party is satisfied with the 34 counties north of the Yellow River. It's just... there are also the interests of General Feng Huanzhang and other factions. How do you plan to arrange them?"

Luo Yaoguo smiled, and looked at Zhou Enlai with a somewhat complicated expression: "Brother Enlai, do you think Feng Huanzhang and Duan Zhilao will have much strength left after this battle?"

"What do you mean?" Zhou Enlai was startled, and looked at Luo Yaoguo: "Don't tell me you want to sacrifice the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, just to die?"

Luo Yaoguo shook his head, and sighed: "If you want to be rescued, you have to wait for someone to ask for help, right? I'm afraid that when the time comes...well, let's not talk about these unpleasant things." Luo Yaoguo took a drink from his glass, and changed another one With a cheerful smile: "I heard that your Soviet area has also started construction, is it engaged in heavy industry?"

Zhou Enlai also smiled brightly in a blink of an eye: "Speaking of construction, Luo Fuwen is an expert, right? The steel output in southern China is more than 100 million tons! I don't know where it came from, it seems... ...It seems that there is some kind of magic that turns stones into gold."

Although the CCP's "Red Star News" described the south as a hell on earth, it also criticized those factories as worthless.But the big guys are very envious in private, especially Zhou Enlai and Deng Xixian, who want to learn...

Luo Yaoguo smiled and waved his hands: "Where is the method of turning stones into gold? Besides, what's the use of this gold? When it comes to communism, it will be used to repair toilets."

As soon as the joke was uttered, everyone laughed along with the occasion, and the atmosphere at the banquet suddenly eased a lot.Luo Yaoguo took a sip of his wine and said with a smile: "Our China has more than 1000 million square kilometers of land, and it is rich in resources. And the common people are nearly [-] million, and they are very hardworking and thrifty. When it is not as good as others, but when it comes to production, when is it not the absolute leading position in the world? That is, it is temporarily lagging behind for various reasons in the past few decades... So it is not difficult for our country to develop. As long as there are suitable policies and a relatively stable environment, it is enough. Just like the development of our south in the past few years, it is because of good policies and a peaceful and stable environment. This is not difficult at all, as long as your party and the north If the factions can truly unite, create a good environment for the people, and provide some good policies, they will soon catch up."

Zhou Enlai was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully, he felt that what the other party said made sense.In fact, the real reason for the industrial development in the south is the unification of government and military orders, the "Guangzhou Secret Treaty", and the monopoly of the southern banknote market with legal currency.The unified military administration gave the south a stable environment, and the "Guangzhou Secret Treaty" gave the south the right to tariff autonomy, and was able to use protective tariff policies to encourage domestic industrial development.The monopoly of the banknote market by legal currency has enabled the rapid development of the financial and banking industries in the south, which can provide cheap funds for industrial construction.

"Brother Fuwen, just now you said you want our party to truly unite with the northern factions? Aren't you afraid that we will unite and become enemies of your party?" Zhou Enlai just looked at Luo Yaoguo peacefully.
